Chapter 122. Finally Arrived
"We can’t find these Phantom Pirates. It’s like they disappeared forever," an old man said to the middle-aged man steering the helm.
"I didn’t expect someone to have knowledge of the ancient language in the south. We can find them later. It’s not urgent. They will definitely make waves; we just need to wait," the man replied, gently turning the helm.
"But we don’t even know if they went south or north. What if they never appear again?" the old man asked.
"Sometimes, when you can’t find someone, it’s not because they want to hide. It’s just that they don’t care enough to reveal themselves," the man answered calmly, taking the wanted poster of Phantom Blackwood in his hands. "I wonder where they are?"

"We’re here. Across these Giant Mountains is the beginning of the world," Lily Gomes shouted, pointing at the imposing peaks.
"Are you sure they aren’t some monster’s teeth?" Tyler asked, recalling the incident vividly.
"Probably not."
"Probably?"
Towering above the sea like ancient sentinels, the Giant Mountains were a breathtaking sight. Their jagged peaks pierced the sky, shrouded in mist, while their sheer cliffs plunged into the dark, churning waters below. The mountains’ surfaces were a mosaic of rocky crags and sparse, hardy vegetation clinging to life in the unforgiving environment. The tallest of these mountains seemed to rise endlessly, its summit lost in the clouds, giving it an almost otherworldly appearance.
Tyler stared at the formidable range, his mind racing with possibilities. "How are we supposed to get past these mountains?" he asked, his voice tinged with awe and apprehension.
